| This is an observational, epidemiological study, and it really doesnt tell
us anything about cause and effect, noted the
councils senior vice president of nutrition and scientific affairs, Dr. Gre
Miller. It only tells us about associations. There
have been many, many other observational studies that have suggested that
there is no link at all between dairy product consumption,
calcium intake and the risk of prostate cancer. |
| There are more than 2 million breast cancer survivors in the United States
and many millions more worldwide. As early detection and more effective
treatments secure long-term survival for more and more women, the physical
and emotional impact of this diagnosis and its treatments must be
addressed. It is no longer enough, although it is certainly important, to
cure the cancer. The lifelong consequences of breast cancer treatment need
to be recognized, addressed, and treated so women can enjoy the lives they
go on to live. It is vital that physicians and other oncology caregivers
recognize this reality and prepare their patients for the posttreatment
period with the same detail, empathy, and attention that was given to
earlier explanations of diagnosis and treatment planning. |
| In 1997, the Florida Cancer Education Network was able to get the legislature
to approve a bill to establish the Florida Prostate Cancer Task Force. In
January 2000, the Prostate Cancer Task Force presented their recommendations to
the Florida Legislature and the Governor. What have they done about these
recommendations? NOTHING! |
| The most important facts to be given to all women as they near the end of
their active treatment are that the recovery process is slow, that many
find it emotionally more challenging than the months of treatment, and that
they should be prepared for some days of worry, sadness, frustration, and
anger. A good rule of thumb is that recovery will take as long as the total
duration of treatment, counting from the day of diagnosis until the day of
the final radiation or chemotherapy treatment. The issues of life before
cancer will be waiting; cancer does not make other troubles disappear. It
is likely that tolerance for these issues will be more limited and that
patients will experience a sense of being out of sync with many friends who
imagine that the cancer experience is over. |
| The findings, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
(news - web sites), support previous studies that found a link
between high dairy intake and prostate cancer. |
